Startup Boards -- Foundation for Startup Investing Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startup investing is a risky business. Not all the investments will work out.\xa0\xa0 Know your risk tolerance and how much risk you want to take.\xa0\xa0 Most investors allocate 3 to 10 percent of their investments into startup investing. Allocate a specific amount of funding for your investments. You need to invest across ten deals to gain diversification, so take your funds allocation and set an amount or range for each investment.\xa0 Follow-on funding is also a factor, so be prepared to invest again in many of those companies.\xa0 Consider taking your allocation per deal and dividing it into two -- one for the upfront investment and the other for a follow-on funding. Consider what is important to you and invest in companies that align with your goals and vision. You may want to support your community or industry. You may want to foster diversity or create jobs.\xa0 Or you may want to mentor entrepreneurs or keep your skills up to date.\xa0 In the end, it\u2019s the \u201cWhy\u201d you invested that will matter the most.\xa0 Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let\u2019s go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: \xa0 Check out our other podcasts here: \xa0 For Investors check out: \xa0 For Startups check out: \xa0 For eGuides check out: \xa0 For upcoming Events, check out \xa0\xa0 For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group\xa0\xa0\xa0 Please , share, and leave a review.
